The El Camaleon Golf Club is ranked the 14th hardest golf course on the PGA TOUR. A good round tomorrow passes a lot of guys on the way to the pay window.

Go get'em guys!

Brian shot 68 today and move up 20 spots to finish at 277 (-3 / T-20) for the tournament. Jay closed with 70 for 280 (E / T-46). http://www.pgatour.com/leaderboards/current/r457/

The purse for this 'opposite' (the WGC- Accenture Match Play) event is $3.6 million, with the standard 18 percent ($648,000) going to the winner. So, the payday is less than many other PGA TOUR events, but it was still a pretty good week for Brian ($36,315) and Jay ($10,488 ).

Next up, The Honda Classic, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, as the Florida swing begins.
